Ulmizberg Staircase

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Well-preserved staircase below the Ulmizberg. After these stairs, it is still mostly flat to the summit. Also for jogging crisp.

In contrast to the Gurten, it has few hikers. This pleases the biker.

Beautiful Bernese farms just below the Ulmizberg summit. There is a refreshing fountain at the farm on the east side, which almost always carries water. You are almost always greeted by the farm Büsi.

Chromet-Weidli on Ulmizberg

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Beautiful and little known way (no official trail) along the "Chromet", a beautiful Weidli north side of the summit Ulmizberg, where you are all for yourself.
